Webamp is quite amazing. I use it on my desktop environment website. I recently added playlist support (m3u/pls/asx) and integrated lazy(er) Butterchurn so it can run as the wallpaper. Winamp/Milkdrop forever! https://dustinbrett.com/ https://dustinbrett.com/

this is insanely cool! it's hard to imagine wasm stuff has come this far

  Speaking specifically about Webamp, it is a manual reimplementation in JavaScript. But we did use Wasm as a tool for the music visualizer: https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/speeding-up-winamps-music-visualizer-with-webassembly/ https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/speeding-up-winamps-music-vi...

    that's awesome, I'll check it out. hopefully the WebAudioAPI has gotten better to work with over the years

      The web audio api code is mostly in this directory: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/webamp/js/media https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/...

    Amazing stuff! Especially the https://github.com/captbaritone/eel-wasm https://github.com/captbaritone/eel-wasm part. It's great to be able to salvage all this internet history and keep it alive and going.

      This was a thing nearly 10 years ago on windows, not sure if it still works https://spotiamp-lightweight-spotify-player.en.uptodown.com/windows https://spotiamp-lightweight-spotify-player.en.uptodown.com/...

      Webamp has been used to do something like this: https://winampify.io/ https://winampify.io/ (Required paid Spotify account)
      - airstrike 4y ago
        That is almost perfect, except it requires a browser tab emulating the full desktop. I'd love to have just the standalone Winamp window

Wow, your website is insane. Great work.

  Thanks! Adding stuff like Webamp is my favorite part of making my website.

It is really cool to be able to open a browser in your desktop and visit your website, recursively. How many levels deep have you tested this?
- r4cec4r 4y ago
  I was only able to go 1 level deep. I could open the top level browser and load the site which allowed me to open another browser but that wouldn't load the site.

  I tried on my phone, and found that I ran out of screen space before it stopped working. It was interesting, seeing all of the clocks tick, one above another, second after second.
- zelphirkalt 4y ago
  Properly coded, there is no reason to assume, that it would not work for an arbitrary depth. Considering, that this is on a website, and that it is running JS, which in most implementations does not implement tail call elimination, coding it properly probably involves externalizing the stack.

    The browser is just an iframe, so tail call optimization isn’t relevant. https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS/blob/b1681546a2ce990ad8b6d86c8373d137b377b839/components/apps/Browser/index.tsx#L165 https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS/blob/b1681546a2ce990...
